I'd like to squeeze in one of those individual pouches of water that Datrex markets, but I haven't tried it yet.
WATER - Dihydrogen Monooxide - during the blackout here in NYC - by the time I got 1/2 way home, NONE of the stores had anything to drink (they had FOOD - in fact were giving food that would spoil away) - the occasional place had a sillcock (water hose bib) turned on for folks passing by - people kept asking me where I got my water - I smiled and said "From my pack"
A quick lesson learned BTW - even after drinking my 20oz bottle, refilling, and drinking again, I still felt really tired/weak - it was around 5:00pm - I had forgotten to EAT. I ate a little bit - boy did I feel better
